  • Taking the Case of Homeopathy Juliet Louise
    PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY JULIET LOUISE SMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University January 2012 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. ABSTRACT JULIET L SMITH PRACTITIONER BASED INQUIRY: TAKING THE CASE OF HOMEOPATHY After twenty years of practising and teaching homeopathy, I am concerned that research into treatment by professional homeopaths has become stifled by evidence based medicine discourse. Homeopathy’s distinguishing features are obscured by erroneous assumptions that a homeopathic prescription is subject to the same biochemical pathways as pharmacological medication. Homeopaths are urged by external parties to ‘prove homeopathy works’ on biomedical terms. This reflexive inquiry is an attempt to redress the balance. From postmodern and pragmatic perspectives I reflexively engage with professional experiences (Smith, 2009) as a means of articulating practitioner based knowledge (Freshwater and Rolfe, 2001, Rolfe et al., 2001). The subjectivity of the practitioner researcher is transformed from a research problem into an opportunity to critically examine practitioner experience (Lees and Freshwater, 2008). The research process is a focus for the inquiry itself, with the intention of creating an open text that invites participation from the reader (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994). I ‘take the case’ of my own practice and its wider context, and enact a synergy of homeopathic practice and research methodologies.

  • Sir John Weir: the Queen’S Doctor
    SIR JOHN WEIR: THE QUEEN’S DOCTOR By Ken McNaughton At a glittering gathering of the Clan Macnachtan Association in Mayfair on 24 June 1965, an elderly gentleman bounced up to me and said gaily, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I was a callow youth of 25 years, an Australian post-graduate student making my way in London, book-educated but not yet worldly wise, and may have missed an opportunity to get to know a genuine celebrity. In a Christmas tape-recording to my mother in Australia I described the occasion: “But at one stage this rather elderly gentleman— elderly and stout—came up to me and said to me in a rather aggressive fashion, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I tried not to giggle too much and listened to him for about five minutes. He had many stories to tell and I had my tongue in my cheek and I was rubbishing [making fun of] him as hard as I could without making it appear too obvious when, after about five minutes, I realized he wasn’t rubbishing at all, he was deadly serious, and that’s true” [1]. Figure 1. Sir John Weir, Physician Royal to British monarchs for fifty years. John Weir was born in Paisley, ten miles west of Glasgow, on 19 October 1879. He attended school in Glasgow, with an emphasis on science, and graduated in medicine from Glasgow University in 1907. After a sabbatical year at Hering Medical College in Chicago 1908-9, he returned to the London Homeopathic Hospital as Consultant Physician in 1910, and rose to become President of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1923.
